Introducing the OTW Authentic Prima

OTW by Vans unveils the Authentic Prima, a new women’s silhouette shaped by quiet confidence, refined movement, and a forward-thinking approach to design. Blending ballet-inspired elegance with the grit and grace of everyday motion, the Authentic Prima channels a fresh perspective—distilling heritage through minimalism, intention, and craft. 

The Authentic Prima introduces a low-profile, square-toe shape, reimagining classic Vans language through a softer, more fluid lens. Its full-grain leather upper delivers a smooth, durable finish that molds comfortably to the foot, while a minimal lining provides a barely-there feel for unrestricted motion. The design pushes toward effortlessness—streamlined, understated, and built for modern versatility.

Underfoot, the Authentic Prima features a cushioned insole, offering soft, durable cushioning engineered for long-wear support. A leather footbed adds a refined touch, while Vans’ signature waffle outsole ensures confident grip and grounded movement. 

Two lace options—a primary round lace and a secondary flat tonal cotton lace—allow subtle customization, complementing the shoe’s intentionally minimal palette and ballet-inspired form.

The Authentic Prima releases in two contrasting colorways on December 4th, 2025, exclusively on vans.com/otw.
